Make A Break For It

Make A Break For It is the first Mission in Far Cry 3 and follows the events which happened immediately after Jason and his friends arrived at Rook Island. After a short cutscene which shows Jason and his friends alive and enjoying their trip, Jason finds himself tied up in a cage with his older brother, Grant. Vaas shows up, displays his knowledge of the entire group of friends, and takes off to eliminate captives not worth enough in ransom beneath the orders of Hoyt Volker. Grant ends up killing a guard, unlocking the door to the cage you two were locked up in, and this is where the gameplay begins.

After you and Grant break out of the cage, you will have to follow Grant. Make sure you stay crouched as you follow him, as this reduces noise and visibility. There are several enemies on your way out who will spot you if you approach them too closely or are standing up. A tip will eventually show up which informs you of your Detection meter. This is prominently displayed near your crosshair, and will fill up depending on how aware the enemy is of your presence.

Eventually you'll end up at a small hut with supplies on a nearby table. Grant will pick up a knife, and you'll be required to pick up the remaining items, including a map of the island. After you've picked up the map and other various items, continue to follow Grant, once again avoiding getting caught by any enemies.

After awhile, you'll come across a guard leaning against a window. Grant will instruct you to throw a rock off toward the right in order to lure the guard away from the window so you can climb through it without being spotted. Throw the rock, and as soon as Grant instructs you, follow him toward the window and climb through it. A guard will spot you in this building, but will immediately be killed by Grant. As you approach the next building, if you look off toward the left, you'll notice Vaas executing three people. Climb up the crates with Grant, and then through the window. Off toward the left are guards watching television, sneak out the door to the right, and do not alert them of your presence.

As you exit this building, Grant will veer off toward the right and sneak through some foliage. Foliage allows you to hide easily and blocks the enemy's line of sight. Two guards will be standing near the exit of the camp. Once again, throw a rock off toward the right of the guards to lure them away from the exit. Once the rock is thrown and Grant gives the queue, follow him toward the exit and off toward freedom.

Once you get past the bridge and vehicles, a cutscene will begin. During the cutscene, Grant will be shot in the neck by Vaas, and you must cover the wound with your hands in order to prevent him from bleeding out. This is the first of many quick time events in Far Cry 3, and one of the easiest. Repeatedly tap the prompted button until he dies. After he dies, you must escape from the camp by running into the jungle.

As you run through the jungle, you'll be shot at from behind. So long as you're running, you won't die. Eventually you'll approach a rock lying in the middle of the path that you must jump over. After jumping over this, your character will slide down a hill, hit the ground, and the screen will appear black for a few seconds. After this, you'll continue to run through the jungle. There's eventually a gap you must clear, and vines you must climb. After climbing the vines, you'll approach a small tunnel in a mountain you must crawl through. If you've been prompted with a message to heal yourself, it's recommended you do so in this tunnel.

Once you've gotten through the tunnel, a man will jump down and attempt to kill you with a knife. You must turn the knife on him, and kill him. This quick time event is similar to the last. Repeatedly tap the prompted button until you turn the knife on the enemy and kill him. After this, you'll approach a wooden bridge. After nearly making it to the other side, the bridge will collapse, leading you into a cutscene in which you plummet to the bottom of a ravine into a river. The mission ends with Jason's body floating downstream and eventually being picked up by Dennis.
